Wedding Journal Show Belfast: Highlights

The Wedding Journal Show took over Titanic Exhibition Centre in Belfast at the weekend and a fantastic time was had by everyone who came along.

Whether exhibitor or visitor, anyone we spoke to throughout the course of the Wedding Journal Show was having a great time.

VIP Benefits

Our new, improved VIP Lounge sponsored by Victoria Square was in-situ to welcome our VIP guests with special reserved front row seating right in front of the main catwalk stage. The goodie bags were really well received and everyone indulged in the sweet treats and glasses of Prosecco!

2018 Bridal Fashion

On the main stage the catwalk show ran three times daily at 12pm, 2pm and 4pm – as always the crowd were treated to a thoroughly entertaining display by our dancers as they showcased the latest 2018 wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses, groomswear and mother-of-the bride occasionwear.

Young Designer of the Year Winner

Cara McAleenan was crowned the 2018 Young Designer of the Year winner. Cara’s beautiful floral gown came out on top with our Judges, international bridal designer Ian Stuart, designer and 2012 winner Gordon Donaldson and Martin Martin from Maureen Martin Models. All of this year’s finalists were deserving of their title and we would like to thank everyone who entered the competition.

Expert Styling Tips

Also on the main stage, award-winning hairdresser Stephen McCusker and celebrity make-up artist Paddy McGurgan took to the stage to share their expert knowledge on bridal hair and beauty with our audience full of beautiful brides!
